Definition

Namespace:

System.Data.Entity

Assembly:

EntityFramework.dll

Call this method from the constructor of a class derived from DbConfiguration to set an implementation of IDbProviderFactoryResolver which allows a DbProviderFactory to be obtained from a DbConnection in cases where the default implementation is not sufficient.

protected internal void SetProviderFactoryResolver (System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.IDbProviderFactoryResolver providerFactoryResolver);

member this.SetProviderFactoryResolver : System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.IDbProviderFactoryResolver -> unit

Protected Friend Sub SetProviderFactoryResolver (providerFactoryResolver As IDbProviderFactoryResolver)

Parameters

providerFactoryResolver

IDbProviderFactoryResolver

The provider factory service.

Remarks

This method is provided as a convenient and discoverable way to add configuration to the Entity Framework. Internally it works in the same way as using AddDependencyResolver to add an appropriate resolver for IDbProviderFactoryResolver. This means that, if desired, the same functionality can be achieved using a custom resolver or a resolver backed by an Inversion-of-Control container.
